An example of a sub-group I have thought about is 'Sport and social justice' - that is broad enough to encompass a range of interests but with a focus that sits nicely with the OU mission..

Might our 'size' or critical mass be expanded if we included ALs or central staff from other clusters/schools/faculties? We could go beyond our existing 'boundaries'.

I'm a bit on the fence with sub-groups. I can see the benefit, equally, I wonder if we're a big enough 'whole' group, to warrant sub-groups. Could we make better use of the Teams space for more specialist discussion, e.g. psychology, sociology, coaching etc.

Use our social media channels to push our research at key times of the year when we want potential students to see our expertise. We also need space on the PGr channels to showcase S&F research and advertise for PhD students.

We do have an issue with no lab space to draw on currently*

*potential for a future lab...

I think smaller sub groups would be beneficial

Do we want to have groups within the cluster to subdivide the focus and have collective priorities?

Small pockets of funding to help pay for AL support with lit reviews/data collection can be really helpful to find the additional time we don't have for research

We could do with more PhD students too - they would contribute to the dept and a cluster like this enormously. Possibly one or two funded PhDs a year - in my view a great use of research money

Might help to have a clear purpose to what the group is for and terms of reference etc (these might exist already...)

Having a separate clusters allows us to focus leadership time to the priorities of the S&F cluster. It also formalises the research group that we have always had but this was only done within the team (no time assigned in AWMS for chairing / leading / delivering workshops etc.). This may also allow targeted funding to support the needs of the group.
